Enhancing Negotiation Competitions in Academic Settings
Academic competitions such as negotiation competitions play a significant role in developing students' skills in legal writing, dispute resolution, and negotiation tactics. These competitions involve teams representing clients to negotiate contracts and resolve disputes, with judging by legal practitioners. Organizations like ELSA host negotiation competitions following international rules, promoting local and national rounds within their network and offering online resources and coaching. The development focus includes improving case databases, unifying competition standards, and enhancing coaching systems.
